Sorry more Dining Plan questions. If we do choose to get the Dining plan will everyone in the room need to be on it or can we choose to pay out of pocket for the kids instead? 2A, 2K traveling.Thanks.”

The dining plan does have to be all or none. I know deciding on the whether or not to get the dining plan can feel overwhelming. You should have seen the spreadsheets I used to make trying to figure out whether it was a good deal for our family. In the end, I always go back to what's easier. I find it convenient to have everything paid for in advanced and I like not having to worry about whether or not I should get the chicken or the steak.

The dining plan helps take your mind off money matters while your on vacation. Unless you think you're going to end your trip with an excessive amount of uneaten meals, just go for it as long as your family can afford it.
